INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

The students tried to locate and trace the magnetic fields inside a
commutator using a magnetic probe. In this experiment, the students have
activated the power supplies connected in both orientations of pole-shoes in
the commutator, one in vertical poles (F1, F2) and the other is in horizontal
poles (F5, F6). The students moved the probe in all direction inside of the
commutator, brushing along each pole-shoe and in between each other. The
students noticed the deflection of the probe, still corresponds to the polarity
of the vertical poles and the horizontal poles. It follows the polarity of nearer
electromagnet whose strength is greater in closeness.
On the other hand, the other part of the experiment shows a different
outcome since the power supply is connected to the electromagnets were
varied, carrying out the series opposition connection. By this time same
poles were connected. Due to this, flux is almost null because same polarity
of magnetic fields were activated when the electrical connection was
changed.

Conclusion
According to the experiment, the students therefore conclude that a
magnetic field is the result of a magnetic effect of electric currents and magnetic
materials. The magnetic field at any given point is strictly specified by both a
direction and a magnitude considering it is a vector field. The term is used for two
distinct but closely related fields denoted by the symbols B and H, where H is
measured in units of amperes per meter (Am1 or A/m) in the SI while B is
measured in Teslas (T) and Newtons per meter per ampere (Nm 1A1 or N/(mA)).
Electromagnet is a magnetic material used in the experiment. It is a type of
magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. The magnetic
field disappears when the current is turned off. It is usually consists of a large
number of turns of wire that create the magnetic field. The main advantage of an
electromagnet compared to a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be
easily changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. On a
contrary, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet
requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field. The
magnetic field produced by an electromagnet is proportional to both the number of
turns in the winding, N, and the current in the wire, I, correspondingly resulted to a
product NI, in ampere-turns, namely magnetomotive force.
